Asperity

ASPERITY

-noun
Harshness or roughness.



Yes,
Her
Sullen
Look spoke with
Grim asperity
A frontal attack on my soul
Her words harsher still, soon reducing me to tatters.

No mercy - was obviously the creed, the policy.
So what could a poor devil do?
Looking for polish
To file shards?
I
Smiled.

Wise move - probably the only workable one.

Well done.
